'Teri' Eloise Ann Jones

Teri had a smile that lit up any room she entered and a lively sense of humor. Her friends and family will miss her joyful spirit which was with her until the end of her long and well lived life. She was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and expressed daily her love of God, her appreciation of the Atoning Sacrifice of The Lord Jesus Christ and her reliance on the Gift of the Holy Ghost which was always with her.

She was preceded in death by the love of her life and Eternal Companion, Donald Jones, her late in life spouse, love, travel buddy, fishing pal and dancing partner, John Hans; step-daughter, Darla Hans; step-son, John Hans Jr.; and granddaughter, Rachael Ann Smith. She also had four siblings who have gone ahead, Aubrey "Blaze" Blasingame, Georgia Arie, Ernestine Smotherman and Ardy Conrad.

She is survived by all of her children, Daniel John Jones and his wife Nancy, Dennis Edward Jones and his wife Sylvia, Dale Robert Jones and his wife Stephanie, Darlene Lorraine Jones Armstrong-Smith and her husband Michael. She is also survived by step-children, Jan Hans and her partner Grace, Carolyn Hans, Shariee Hans, and Richard Hans and his wife Mary Sue. She was “Grammy” to 20 grandchildren, and countless great-grandchildren and even a great-great-grandchild. Her siblings, Jeannie Dinsmoor, Fran Conrad, Jimmy Conrad and Gerald Conrad, survive her as well as many dear nieces and nephews. She is also survived by her dearest friend, Laura Morris.

A memorial service will be held on Sept. 16, at 4:30 p.m. at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Cookeville, 981 S Walnut Ave. Please do not send flowers but give to charity instead. Her favorite charities were The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day-Saints Humanitarian Fund and the Salvation Army.
